Tommy Paul upsets Wimbledon champ in Toronto
Finally, Carlos Alcaraz바카라s fairytale run ended. A streak of fourteen consecutive wins, which included an epic victory over Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon, was snapped in Toronto on Friday night.
Tommy Paul of the US upset the 20-year-old World No. 1 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in the National Bank Open quarterfinals.
바카라I played a really good match. I really went after my shots,바카라 Paul said. 바카라You can't start any points on your heels against him or he'll take advantage of that. So you really have to go after your shots early in the rally and I was feeling really good on the first-strike tennis. That was the difference today.바카라
Alcaraz was gracious in defeat. 바카라He's really tough on every surface,바카라 Alcaraz said. 바카라I mean he's a mix of everything. It makes him really, really tough.바카라
Paul is now 2-1 on Alcaraz in their head to head record. Not even Djokovic can say that. His other win against Alcaraz came in Montreal last year.
바카라It helps knowing that you can beat your opponent,바카라 Paul said. 바카라You never want to walk on the court and be like, I don't know if I can beat this guy'. It's the attitude you've got to have no matter who you are playing."
Former World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev also lost. He went down 7-6 (7), 7-5 to the Australian Alex de Minaur.
"I had to play some of my best tennis today,바카라 de Minaur said. 바카라It has been a great week for me so far. I played the right way today. I think having played him at the end of last year gave me the confidence that I had a chance. I just had to play the right way and I am extremely proud of the effort and to still be alive."
De Minaur will face Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain in a duel of unseeded players. Paul, the hero of the moment, will play either Jannik Sinner or Gael Monfils in the semifinals.
